Kia set to launch training scheme - graduate jobs

Graduates will be encouraged to learn that car firm Kia is searching for potential candidates for its new graduate training scheme.

It plans to recruit five new employees on 12-month contracts before the end of 2010.

According to head of human resources Gary Tomlinson, the company's UK expansion, fuelled by increased car sales, means now is a good time to recruit.

He said: "At Kia we have a growing brand, a growing company and consequently growing opportunities both for our existing staff and for potential new recruits.

"We have decided that we will launch a specific 12-month training and employment programme for new graduates who want to work in a challenging and exciting environment with one of the motor industry's rising stars.

"During the last quarter of 2010 we shall recruit five graduates specifically to join Kia on 12-month contracts with a view to providing them and the company with opportunities and support."

Graduates will be involved in areas such as marketing, sales, finance, after-sales and logistics.
